I’m looking forward to deploying PowerArchiver 2023 to my users. Can you tell us when the MSI will be available for download and distribution?
Thanks.
Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9

Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Hi,
From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.
Thanks
I noticed that the version of ZPAQ used is older than the latest released 7.15 https://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html also there seems to be a newer fork that adds several features https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz
It would be useful to implement this latest version (it also maintains the same syntax and behavior as the latest official release if used the -715 flag) and add when opening a zpaq file a choice of the version of the files to show (e.g. as dummy folders represented the various versions present). Since any previous changes are stored with this format, it is possible to extract a snapshot of a certain date/version.
If I open a password-protected zipper file (created with WinRAR but I think that’s irrelevant), open it with PowerArchiver and run “Remove Encryption” on the same file, then reopen it and add a password with “Encrypt Archive,” the resulting archive will be protected with the old ZipCrypto algorithm and not AES as indicated.
(this can be verified, for example, by trying to open the archive files with Windows Explorer, which does not support the AES algorithm)
PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.

Hi
Thank you for your Reply
It just start happening after installing Powerarchiver, previously Opening windows explorer almost takes no time but after installing PowerArchiver it takes time (almost 300 ms) to open Windows Explorer.
My OS is Windows 10 x64

does it happen every time you open shell, or just the first time?

First time delay is more but every time I open the shell, it opens with a delay more than before installing Powerarchiver.

so when you right click on the file, right? Or opening actual Windows Explorer window?

hm, this should not happen - shell extensions that we use only get activated when you right click on the file and even then it gets cached after first run and is instant even on my core-m.
Can you try disabling options in Config> Shell extensions like Hints, Explorer Preview and Preview shell extension, try then?

It seems I’ve made a mistake
I disabled Shell Extension completely but nothing change, so it’s not PowerArchiver’s FaultThank You all

Hello
After clean installing windows and exactly after installing PowerArchiver, Windows Explorer opens with a delay, it seems unchecking “Use Explorer Extensions” will not unload Explorer Extension.

Hi deadlyshadow.
Check out shellexview:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview_setup.exe
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.htmlIt lets you disable specific shell extensions.
You can try seeing which one exactly is creating this issue for you and maybe if it is due to presence of some other shell extensions as well. You can easily sort by name and then go to PowerArchiver ones.
After disabling any of the options, you need to restart explorer.exe from taskmanager (right click> Restart).
thank you!
